8 thoughts on “Don Lemon Says: Just Be an American This July 4th, Not An American With A Prefix”

Brother Don Lemon is the ultimate assimilationist. He doesn’t make black folks think; he tries to sell us the white man’s viewpoint each and every week. His attempt at soliciting white patriotism to black listeners is a classic example of assimilation. To refer to our enslaved African ancestors’ kidnappers and murderers as “our founding fathers” shows classic white thinking as a black man. Having Lemon on The Tom Joyner Morning Show is like Michael Moore giving weekly commentary on Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly. Tom Joyner owes his listeners an explanation about who choose Don Lemon and why.

In addition to hitting the nail on the head of all the comments, Nubian people has attempted this since time forgot. . .I hope this is shared on CNN, because he needs to speak loud and clear to the masses.

Now if only Don Lemon would stop highlighting the fact that he’s a gay American. Start there, hypocrite!
Tom Joyner if you had true respect for black folks you wouldn’t be throwing Don Lemon in our faces like that. You are a hypocrite too.
Goodbye TJMS and BAW!!!

While you were daydreaming Don why didn’t you look for a fountain to throw a penny in and wish for world peace or look for a magical lamp and asks the genie to grant you your wish? Wake up Don! The world we live in is full of hate and the best we can do is not become consumed by it ourselves.

Im glad you got that warm, fuzzy feeling over the World Cup, but dont kid yourself. This is nothing new. White folks always come together with other races when it suite their fancy. This is by no means a new phenomenon. When Joe Louis stepped into the ring against Max Schmelling in 1936 people of all races ( especially white men) all over America were so excited to see the Brown Bomber knock that Germnans head off. Remember this was at the height of Hitler coming to prominence. Yet when the boxing match was over and Lous won, the excitement soon died down and they went back to being the same old bigots they had always been. They are the ones who put a prefix on every other american except themselves. The immigration fight we are having right now is becuase many of them think AmeriKA! only belongs to them. Gues they’ve forgotten about Ellis Island. So while it is a nice sentiment dont think for one second this is going to turn into a koom By Ya moment.
